The Raw Recruit. 

ACT 1. 

SCENE I.— Armory 5 a. m., Monday; guns leaning 
against icall, belts and blankets on chairs, etc.; mirror 
on icall R. c, small table with pen, ink and paper, un- 
der mirror. Soldiers in full dress uniform, wipping 
off guns and belts. Serg't. Warner and Billy 
Blake standing l. c, near 2d E.; all singing appro- 
priate chorus at rise of curtain. 

Serg't Warner {looking around) Say Billy, did any- 
one tell Grant that he must be here at 5 o'clock this morn- 
ing? He has been late at every drill since he joined the 
f'(^mpany. If he is late this morning, it will cost him just 
five dollars. 

Billy He was around here last night, Serg't., and be- 
sides he has been properly notified and knows the rule. 
But it is my private opinion that he would much prefer to 
pay his little five than take in his first camp anyway. I 
understand he has not been particularly anxious to go, as 
he imagines the boys are going to play all sorts of tricks 
nn him, and say fellows, we want to see to it that he is not 
disappointed. He evidently wants to become a Brigadier 
General, and we must make shure that he gets anything 
but a plum pudding, and that he also returns home salted 
and well seasoned. 

Enter, Gkant, door in R, l. c, stylishly dressed, kid 
gloves and gripsaclz — greeted ivith shouts. 

Grant Good morning, gentlemen? 

Serg't W Come! come! Grant, what is the matter with 
you this morning? Lively now and get your blanket ir 
shape. 

Billy {going up to Gf^k^T and picking up bag) Foi 
Heaven's sake! Grant, what have you got in here? 



4 THE RAW RECBUIT. 

Grant Why, there is some things I thought I might 
need; and say Serg't., I've got a messenger boy waiting 
outside, I want to know what time we will get into camp. 
I want to send word to frienl.j ;>. mine. {all laugh 

Billy Say Grant, you take my advice and get a hustle 
on you. I'll take care of the message for you — you are 
away behind time now, so no more funny business. You 
are in my ten^^ you know, and I have got to look after you, 
so get into your uniform quick. {opens hag and takes 
out coffee 2)ot) What's that for. Grant? 

Grant That is a patent pot, I couldn't think of drink- 
ing out of any other kind you know. ( all laugh 
Billy And what's these for? {taking out slippers 
Grant To rest my feet in, of course, after marching. 
Billy {taking out sheets) And what in the name of — 
Grant Why, you said last night the State didn't pro- 
vide any. {much laughter 
Billy {taking out neckties, collars, etc., and holding 
them up for inspection — laughing) Well Grant, how do 
you think you are going to carry all these things ? 
■- Grant Get them checked, of course. I guess I've 
travelled before now. {all laugh 
Billy Well you'r a dandy, you'll be a Colonel sure be- 
fore you get back again. Didn't you hear the Captain say, 
that all baggage must be in for the company chest yester- 
day noon? You can't take anything now except what you 
can get into your knapsack, and you want to make that 
light as possible. You've got to get your fatigue coat, cap, 
leggins and white trousers in it, and ( winking to the boys } 
your overcoat too. 

Grant In that little thing? 

Billy Of course, what do you want, a freight oar on 
your back? Come! get a move on you now, you'll have 
me all tired out before the week is over, {exit, Grant, 
E., 3e.) Now for the message— the boy has gone [ I'll 
send Pete. You see Serg't., it's a message to Miss Middle - 
ton; he is there every time I go lately, and I think I'll 
improve an opportunity to spoil his little game. Good 
fellow and all that, you know, but awful fresh. I'll b9t 
my camp pay, it'll take a better recruit than him, to cut 
me out there, {calls) Pete! Pete! come here, I want 
you to take a note for me down to No. 67, Park Street. 
Enter, Pete, r., 2 e. 
Pete But I'se got de Cap' ins things to carry to de 
statiou, can't get no time no how 



THE BA W BECR UIT. 5 

Billy But that is right on the way old man. I'll hold 
the train for you, and say, you might give us that song you 
promised us. Come now, let her go, while I write the 
note. 

Pete remoiisiraies, etc., but finallij consents. After song 
he is sent with note; exits just as Gn.iNT enters, B., 3 
E., ivith coat unbottoned, belt not on, etc. Drnms and 
bugle sound the assembbj behind wings, R. Grant 
Jiuslrated, goes to mirror and prinks. 

Billy What not ready yet, and say, come away from 
that glass, you make me tired. 

Grant {laboring Jiard to get himself ready) You fel- 
lows think this is fun, don't you? It's all blamed nonsense 
getting around here so early. Where is my overcoat? 

Billy Here it is Grant! 

Billy has folded overcoat, after putting in two bricks, and 
after much trouble, Grant gets it on Icnapsack. 

Serg't W {aside to Billy) What did you say in the 
note, Billy? 

Billy Sh! Told her we were going to walk the biggest' 
part of the way, and I'd telegraph from there. Added 
that she must come down as soon as convenient, and that 
the Cap' t. had promised to make me a corporal and signed' 
his name, disguised writing and apologized by saying 
everything was in confusion till I came. 

Enter, Cap't. Smith, door l. c. 

Cap>'t Smith Company attoii Lion! Fall in! 

GnxJsT fcdls in front ran\; knapsack half on, kid gloves 
on, handkerchief and loatcJi chain s 'towing in front of 
coat, helmet on wrong side fore. 

Billy Which way are we going boys? 

{looking at Grant's helmet 

Grant (smartly) Forward, of course, always forward. 
Give us something easy. 

Billy {pointing to lielmet) Thought you was going 
backward. {cdl laugh 

Serg't W {going and looking at Grant) Grant, pui 
your knapsack on straight, put that handkerchief anc 



e THE RAW RECRUIT, 

watch chain out of sight, and put on some decent gloves, 
this is no dancing school! 

Grant But Billy told me — 

Sercft W Never mind what Billy told you, do as you 
are told and no back talk. 

Billy (to Grant) Ah! there is Middleton over there 
waving her handkerchief — think I'll run over! 

(Grant drops (jiin and starts to run off R., 2 e. 

Capt S Steady there Grant, where are you going? 
Get back in your place at once. Fours right! march! 

(drums and bugles sounding 

CURTAIN. 

END OF ACT I. 



ACT. 11. 



SCENE I — 3 p. m., full stage landscape hacking. Modi 
grand guard. 

Enter, Takem, L. u. e., fashionably dressed. 

Takem Dodgast this kind of business. Here I've 
been out of college only about two months, and I don't 
know a Quartermaster from a Brigadier Major, and yet 
they send me down here to report this — this — er — what do 
they call it? Oil! yes, grand guard, grand mighty guard. 
Oh! well, I was up all night peeling lemons for tlie Colonel 
and now I'm jolted all day over corn fields and stone walls 
in that old rickety ambulance, and I don't know if I am 
on this side or the enemys, all dressed alike, how am I to 
tell. If we should be attacked, I'd get hit in the head 
sure, it is so blame big to-day, I couldn't get it behind a 
tree. Bosh! what nonsense. Well never mind; here goes 
for a scatching tirade on the tin soldier. 

(sits doicn and writes 

Enter, Serg't Warner, l., 3 e., loitli squad of soldiers. 

Serg't W Well boys, I suppose we are the reserves and 
have got to stay here. Now, if we only had Grant with 
us, he'd be sure to explain it all to us; as it is, you had 
better make yourselves as comfortable as possible. 

(men lounge on ground 



THE RAW RECRUIT. 7 

Enter, Pete, l. u. e., with water can. 

Hello Pete! whoever thought of seeing you out here- 
Where you been? 

Pete Oh! I'se corned up in de yambalance and went 
down to de brook and got some water, sah! 

SergH W Down to the brook? Why, that's outside 
the picket line, you black rascal. 

Pete Pickets! 'deed I didn't sse no pickets 'cept on a 
fence back by ar a ways. More barbed wire nor pickets, 
sah! 3^ah! yah! 

Men crowd around Pete for drink and than seize him and 
make him sing. 

Takem {after song, to Serg't. Warner) Will you 
kindly tell me Captain, whether you fellows are the enemy 
or the home guard? 

Sergt W We are the— 

Bilkj Why hollo there Takem! where'd you drop 
from ? 

Takem Dropped out of the ambulance back here aways, 
while the horses were trying to climb a tree. Badly hurt, 
injuries internal. {hands on stomach 

Billy Where's your pigeons? 

Takem One got away, the other is tied to the medical 
supply wagon, {smacks lips and ivipes his mouth with his 
hand) But it looks as if 1 should have to cook him for a 
pie, can't see what earthly use he is in this God-forsaken 
countrv. " {exit, R., 3 E. 

Sercjt W (/o Billy) Give him the story about our 
keeping Grant on guard all night m front of the mess 
bouse, with white trousers, loggins and overcoat on. 

Re-enter, Takem, r., 3 e., with a hen under his arm, 

Takem Now vou say the 9fch Regiment represents the 
enemv. " {writing 

Biuy Yes, and they are now trying to surprise our 
camp. If they succeed in driving in our pickets, they fall 
back on i=is, and then we fall back on the camp. 

Takem What! through that swamp. 

Billy Through the jaws of Hades, if it is near supper 
time. If however, they don't out number us at this point, 
they try somewhere else. 

Takem _ Pretty daii^eyous place this. 



8 THE RAW RECRUIT. 

Billy No sarcasm now. This is business, you ought to 
have seen us when we swept down through that ravine 
back here. 

Takem Anybody hurt? 

Billy Hurt! well I should say so— but hark! what's 
that? (flreing in the distant) By jove; they are coming 
upon us now. 

Serg't W Squad attention! 

Takem But say, how aboat some one's getting hurt? 
{squad moves off r., 2 e., slowly 

Billy Only one man— Grant, got lost; ball helped him 
over a fence into a blackberry bush, broke a leg and his 
heart, tore his clothes all off, sent him to the rear in a 
farmer's wheelbarrow. (Takem tcrites, turns to go b.) 
Going to send that ? 

Takem Yes, that will go all right. 

Billy ^ And just add that he is being nursed by a pretty 
milk maid at the farm house, and will be sent home at 
once, so his friends need not expect to see him when they 
come. 

Takem ivrites and ties missage on the hens leg and throivs 
it off n., 2 E., and exits same—rapid firing heard off 
L. u. E. 

Grant rnsliing in from l., 2 e. 

Grant {to Billy) I say, they are after us, seems just 
like war. 

Billy What, you here? 

Grant 'Cert', I was on the extreme left when tliey at- 
tacked us, too. Why ? 

Billy Why? Confound it! I heard you were badly 
wounded with a bayonet and had t3 be carried back to the 
rear on a stretcher. Told Takem, he has sent it to his 
paper and a private dispatch to Miss Middleton, saying 
you would be unable to see her when she came. 

Grant Great scott, man! what have you done? Where 
is ^^^ [rushing toward r., 1 e. 

Enter, Serg't. Warner, r. u. e. 

Serg't W Here Grant, come back here, or I'll report 
you for a coward. 

Billy It won't do you any good, Grant, I saw him fly 
his pigeons half an hour ago. Ha! ha! ha! 

SCENE II.^ll p. in., n-ood backing in 3rd (jrove. Sen- 
try challenges out e., as Billy cnti-rs r.'2 e., on the 
run and oid of breath. 



THE RAW RECRUIT. 

Billij Confound the gu-ard, but there is more than one 
way of getting by them. If I didn't tear my clothes on 
that fence, I'm all right. Grant got excused and thinks 
he will have a fat snap with Miss Middleton to-night, if 
he gets through the lines. Takem's dodgasted measly 
rooster failed to carry, but it is my turn now. She invited 
us both down to the hotel, but he said he was afraid to 
run the guard with me. Coward! I will cook his little 
goose, I've resolved to show her the difference between a 
raw recruit and a veteran. She said she v»^ould sit up for 
me. (sings) "All is fair in love and war" — Ah! what's 
that? {sulks doicii behind icing, L., 2 E. 

Enfer, Geant, r., 2 e., in disguise, with cape of coatfurn' 
ed up and in command of a squad of four. 

Gra;ni. Provost halt! 

Billy (sotfo voce) Oh! Lord, it's the provost. 

Gvani ■{turning lani em on Bihi^Y) Come out there. 
What are you doing here? 

(Billy slarts io run, but is caught 

Grant Well, who are you? 

Billf/ Citizen in soldier's costume. 

Grant Where is your pass? 

BiUy I havn't any, but it is all right, Serg't., let a 
fellow pass. 

Grant {gruffly) Can't do it, orders is to get every 
man inside the lines. ( Billy tries to break away ) Well, 
as you won't go quietly, we will have to make you, 
{places him between two soldiers) Detail forward march. 

SCENE III.— Full stage, landscape backing company, 
street deco reded loith Chinese lanterns, etc., boys 
shouting and cheering as scene opens. 
Serg't W Come boys, we want to go and serenade the 
Captain. 

Enter, Pete, r., 2 e., boys grab him and about to thro \ 
him in a blanket, ichen Grant enters tvith detail. 

Grant {to Billy) Now sir! will you go to your ten! 
and keep quiet, or shall we take you to Lieu't. Brown, 
Commander of the Provost? 

BUly I'll go to my tent, {aside) Confound the luck! 

Serg't W Hello! Billy Blake under arrest? What's 
ihe matter? 

All crowd around them, but leave them in view of the 

audience. 



10 THE RAW BECBUIT, 

Grant (showing his face and spealdng in his nalnrm 
voice) Notliingboys, only a little sport. (Billy amazed) 
You see boys, Miss Miclclleton invited me and some 
friends of mine to call on her at the hotel to-night. We 
did so and disguised ourselves as Provost, so as to gei 
through the lines — great fake, Billy. Coming back Ave 
waited around to see if we could see anything of Billy, 
who said he was going to run tlie guard after roll call, and 
on the way back, we ran right into him, and here he is. 
By the way, Billy, Miss Middleton sends you her regards, 
and said she'd tell you a secret, if you will call on hei 
'"'when lie (jet home. {ivhisj)ers to Billy 

Bilhj {melancholy) Well, old boy, I congratulate you, 
but when did you ask her? 

Grant About an hour ago. 

Billy Well that is a good one on me, and all I have goi 
to say, is, that you beat me at my own game, but I forgive 
70U and there is my hand on it; may you both be happy,. 
;ind may she never regret having captured "The Bat^ 

PtECRUIT." 

Crowd cheer and sing "W/ieu Johnny comes marching 
home.'' Bugle sounding 'Helps'" as curtain falls.
